Thread: Is there support for output parameters?

Hi all,

I'd like to know if there is support for output parameters in function
calls.

If so, how can I use it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid not. You can return record types or use a temporary table to
simulate this. If you are converting from another system, you may find the
documents at http://techdocs.postgresql.org of some use.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your answer.

I'm trying to add outputParameter support to Npgsql, a .net data
provider for postgresql.
I will have a look at docs to see if I find something.
